What used to be Robert's Secret Snow Scout
The last update, I was fighting the T19 transfer case adapter coming loose.
Well, I'm about to pull the Atlas AGAIN to clean those surfaces. I now have some GREEN Locttite coming (the sleeved fitting stuff, not the wick-into-an-assembled-part stuff) and just got some 1/8" thick cork gasket material this morning to see if I can make a thicker gasket, really get those studs to stay put, then some red loctite on the nuts (and top-locks?) and see if I can't get this to stop coming apart.
The studs are into the iron case, but the aluminum adapter indexes off the rear bearing, and there's a slight gap - which I believe is supposed to be taken up with the gasket - then I crank the crap out of the nuts and perhaps the whole face of the adapter is flexing - and ultimately unflexing after a day of abuse.
In January I went back up to Kalispell for SnowBash. I brought Justin in his Scout along this year.
It snowed most of the way there - we spent the day in 4-high in our tow rigs.. there and back..
